BETA EXTENSION do not install unless you know what you are doing and will report bugs before reviewing. Thanks!
After installation: you will have to refresh any pages that you would like to use VideoTape on - these pages should have videos on them - usually multiple videos - you may have to try a few.
History: Video Tape is the culmination of several iterations. This is the history of Video Tape (largely unreleased) VidzFixed, Flash Stick, VideoTape. It is also loosely tied to the concepts that were released in one of my first web extensions VidzBigger (which no longer works)
Needed: Override z-index without modifying DOM structure, OR flash video does not restart playing when it's position in DOM structure is modified.
Sometimes the fixed position video becomes unclickable or you can click right through it, so you cannot pause it or modify volume. You will have to return it to it's original position on the page by clicking it again in these cases.
